Set on the very edge of the village, surrounded by beautiful countryside, nestles this charming cottage. It has been extended over the years since original construction during the 1800’s, providing lots of space, ideal for a family. It is close to the wonderful Elham primary school as well as the centre of the village where you will find two great pub restaurants and a village store. 

As you enter the property through the porch you will come into the spacious sitting room. Stairs leading to the first floor create a natural snug area beneath, perfect for curling up in the evenings in front of the fire. Beyond the lounge is a very large dining room with patio doors leading to the back garden. Off the dining room is a quaint country style kitchen with ample units and butler style sink. There is also a large utility room with plenty of space for all large appliances which could potentially double up as a home office or playroom. 

Another door in the dining area takes you to a large shower room where through a further door you can access the garage. 

On the first floor, a spacious landing greets you flooded with light from the window with pleasant views to the rear. There is a great sized bathroom with timeless white suite including a beautiful roll top bath. 

Bedrooms one and two are situated at the front of the property, enjoying stunning views of the neighbouring fields. The third bedroom is situated at the back, again with great views. All are good sized doubles. 

Outside of the property to the front there is parking for one or two vehicles as well as the garage. To the rear of the property is a lovely garden. Currently lots of well-established trees and shrubs provide greenery but if removed would create even more space. It would suit a keen gardener as has great potential to be the perfect outdoor space for entertaining or for children to play. There is some space to the side of the cottage which also has access to the garage and to the front of the property which would be perfect for storing bikes. 

Overall, this homely cottage has heaps of potential. It does need some cosmetic improvements which will give you the opportunity to decorate to your own personal taste. It is however ready to move into without any need for immediate renovation. The village itself is very sought after due to its outstanding beauty and excellent location only approximately nine miles from the cathedral city of Canterbury and five miles from Folkestone. The Highspeed train to London from Folkestone central or Folkestone West takes less than an hour. 

If you are looking for an idyllic family home with heaps of potential and versatility in stunning countryside, then contact us soon to arrange a viewing to avoid disappointment.

Surface Water Flood Risk
Unlike flooding from rivers, surface water flooding can happen many miles from a river, often in places that people wouldn’t expect because it’s a long way from a river or stream – it happens simply because there is nowhere else for the rainwater to go. Risk ratings are measured as:
High Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 30 (3.3%) in any one year.
Medium Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 100 (1.0%) in any one year.
Low Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.
Very Low Risk - an area in which the risk is below 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.

In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:

avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.

min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
